Today we did walk less and did sit a bit more and watched the people. That does look a bit like that: A few Pictures of People in Venice

Let’s go Amigos – over the bridge into the small streets of Venice!

Chiesa di San Geremia

The first church on this site was erected in the 11th century. Like most of the churches in Venice it was later rebuild a few times. The current edifice dates from 1753, the façade is from 1861. The bell tower is much older – probably dating from the 12th century.

The remains of Saint Lucy of Syracuse are housed inside the church.

Chiesa dei Santi Apostol

The story of the church goes like that: In 643 when Venice was not even a city San Magno (St Magnus) the Bishop of Oderzo built a church on a site where he saw twelve cranes, after an apparition of the twelve Apostles told him to look for this sign.
The church was rebuilt around 1020 later destroyed by the fire of 1106 and rebuilt. It was rebuilt again from 1570-75 and again in the mid-18th century by Giovanni Pedolo. If your space is limited you have to demolish and rebuild many times.

Tower of the Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli
Interesting detail – they do keep the towers some times. That is why they do not really fit together with the rest of the design on some of the churches. The original 7th Century church tower was destroyed by the fire of 1105. Rebuilt 1450, renovated 1601-09 brought down by a storm 50 years later and rebuilt again from 1672 to 1720.

Chiesa di San Salvador

Chiesa dei San Salvador

Again San Magno (St Magnus) did dream and this time the Saviour (Salvatore) did appear and sent him a sign. A red cloud it was. And another of the eight churches he did build went from dream to reality! That took place in 639 but the first time it was documented was in 1067. After the big fire of 1106. The church was first consecrated in 1177. The constuction of the present church building begun around 1508.

Inside the TIM Future Center
Next to the entrance of the church on the left side you find the TIM Future Center. Go inside! It is free and usually nobody goes here. Great place to relax for a bit and escape the crowds outsite.
